Today's Attendance: A Friendly Reminder Our attendance rate today was 88%🥺💔. While we appreciate everyone's efforts, we want to emphasize the importance of regular school attendance. Every day counts ✔️! Why Attendance Matters Research consistently shows a strong link between attendance and academic success📚. Students who miss school frequently, especially in the early grades, are more likely to struggle with reading and other core subjects. This can have long-lasting consequences for their educational journey in middle school and highschool🏫. Upcoming Assessments With important assessments like Galileo and DIBELS coming up in the next two weeks, it's crucial that your child is present to do their best🗓. We believe in their potential and want to support them in every way possible🌟. When to Keep Your Child Home Please refer to the attached flyers for guidance on when your child should stay home due to illness🤕. Let's work together to ensure that our students are in class, ready to learn and grow💛! - Asistencia de hoy: un recordatorio amistoso Nuestra asistencia hoy fue del 88%🥺💔. Si bien apreciamos los esfuerzos de todos, queremos enfatizar la importancia de la asistencia regular a la escuela. ¡Cada día cuenta ✔️! Por qué es importante la asistencia Las investigaciones muestran consistentemente un fuerte vínculo entre la asistencia y el éxito académico📚. Los estudiantes que faltan a la escuela con frecuencia, especialmente en los primeros grados, tienen más probabilidades de tener dificultades con la lectura y otras materias básicas. Esto puede tener consecuencias duraderas para su trayectoria educativa en la escuela secundaria y preparatoria🏫. Próximas evaluaciones Con evaluaciones importantes como Galileo y DIBELS en las próximas dos semanas, es crucial que su hijo esté presente para hacer lo mejor que pueda🗓. Creemos en su potencial y queremos apoyarlos en todas las formas posibles🌟. Cuándo mantener a su hijo en casa Consulte los folletos adjuntos para obtener orientación sobre cuándo su hijo debe quedarse en casa debido a una enfermedad🤕. ¡Trabajemos juntos para asegurarnos de que nuestros estudiantes estén en clase, listos para aprender y crecer💛!
